About the Item

Portrait of a Young Elephant Blowing red Dust, photographed by Joachim Schmeisser in 2013. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. “Dust III” by Joachim Schmeisser is a dynamic and evocative photograph that captures the raw power and grace of an elephant in motion. The image features the dark silhouette of the elephant as it raises its trunk, releasing a dramatic plume of reddish dust into the air. The stark contrast between the rich tones of the dust and the elephant’s dark form against a light background creates a powerful visual impact. Schmeisser masterfully captures the essence of the wild, blending movement and stillness to convey both the strength and vulnerability of this magnificent creature, making the moment feel timeless and alive. Majestic and fragile – Joachim Schmeisser’s wildlife photography is as complex as the reality before his lens. The German photographer works with African conservation agencies and trusts to portray and protect the animal kingdom. Schmeisser’s photographs of lions, rhinos, elephants, or cheetahs are not mere images but encounters with nature. Encounters that show not only the relationality of these majestic creatures but also the interdependencies of our ecosystem. Expansive skies, the soft tips of savanna grass, and the almost biblical light drenching Schmeisser’s scenes make his photography an intimate and emotional experience.
